Earlier quoted context omitted.

This is what Amazon has been doing for years with Marketplace: check what's popular and then compete on price.

It's also why it's not worth it to develop a hit hardware product, China will undercut you 50% in a month (and probably build it better).

See all hardware products on Kickstarter.

Hey! Honestly didn't expect this to hit the HN top, I've already maxed out all my token limits! If you enjoyed wasting time here, there's a Buy Me A Coffee link in the footer. Thanks for the incredible response! This is why I really love building weird useless stuff for the internet. UPD: You guys are incredibly creative! 15000 products generated and counting. I'm laughing reading all this absurd stuff and crying at…

You had a brilliant idea! This is the most satisfying AI app I've used in a while lol.

Wrote about this last May, had this vision of a store that looks very much like this. Maybe you enjoy the read, here is the link: https://kinduff.com/2025/05/28/when-ai-sells-you-what-you-wa...

Thanks! That's interesting. I feel like some kind of synchronicity here - this project also was built and deployed in May

It’s like a cooler, crazier version of the Library of Babel.

Mall of Babel, maybe ;)

The perfect gift for any HN reader: https://anycrap.shop/product/a-startup-idea

Actually, that’s exactly what this site is. Creator is just harvesting all these ideas to find — or sell! — the best startup ideas.

Well, if you want to steal my definitely billion dollar idea, be my guest :D

Or https://anycrap.shop/product/grass-toucher

From the title of the product I was thinking it was going to be a robotic arm that you’d place outside on the grass, to touch grass for you while you stay inside.

Ahhh you stole my idea lol I was gonna do this as a way for people to stop buying things they don’t need. They get the “buzz” of going through the process of buying something (checkout, credit card form etc) they get a confirmation email and everything. Looks great! Congratulations

> Ahhh you stole my idea lol There are some time traveling products that might help you fix that.

Definitely the optimal way to time-travel.
